Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced roasted green chiles (canned or fresh)
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
- 1 unit Egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the chilled, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced roasted green chiles, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and lightly beaten egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter for added flavor and a tender crust.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
